I’d really like to see “hi” or “hey” and then silence… go away from IM etiquette. You reached out to me, don’t have me

Zach Morris

Mayor of Cougartown

I use it to gage if they're ready to talk. Often they're in an informal meeting and can't yet. They'll respond when open

Wouldn’t you have to any way when they are available? Or do y’all communicate with single words?

Zach Morris

6/24/21 4:50pm

It's implicit. Do you leave a voice-mail telling someone to call you back if they don't answer? Same thing. They'll see

I have never heard the term "lean in" at my work. Winning!!!

Eddie

"ask" as a noun

Pedant

“Path forward” has been annoying me lately.

Try “Back to the future.”

Division Bell

“Off the grid” “skill set” “spin cycles” “Where do you office?” and the list

BlooCoog

“Where do you office” - never heard that before and I pray I never hear it again
